Kate strained to listen to the muffled talking outside her door, which was hard to hear above her grumbling stomach. Her door was flung open, and a young man she had not seen before walked in. He was dressed like the others, his red shirt and dark blue jeans old and tattered. He was clean-shaven, with short brown hair rather like Jack's.

He motioned for her to stand up and when she obeyed, he grabbed her hands and tied them behind her back.

"Walk." He told her firmly, grabbing her by the shoulders.

"Where are we going?" Kate asked, not moving.

"You look like you need a shower. Now go!" he replied, giving her a push. Kate sighed and began to walk out the door. They walked down a long corridor with nothing but plain grey metal walls, and into a room that had many tables and chairs. All around the room were small square TV's, and sitting in an old rocking chair only 5 metres away from her was Tom, or 'Zeke' as Sawyer preferred.

The young man holding Kate, walked over to Tom and whispered something to him. All Kate could make out was a few words, 'ready' and 'shower'. She also figured out the man was referred to as 'Joseph.' Joseph grabbed Kate again, and they left walking through another hallway and into a room full of lockers and cupboards. He quickly opened one and pulled out a white fluffy towel, which he handed to Kate. In another locker he got a baby blue silky dress, which reminded Kate creepily of one Shannon had worn once on the island.

"ALEX!" Jospeh called loudly. Alex came running, hair pulled back in a ponytail.

"You'll take Kate to have a shower." He told her, pushing Kate towards Alex and handing her the dress.

Kate frowned with confusion.

"What will I need this for?" she spat.

"Well, you will want to look all pretty for Jack now, wont you?" Joseph replied quickly, and headed off down through the corridor again.

Kate's heart pounded in her chest. Was she going to see Jack?

"Alex, are they taking me to see Jack?"

Alex gave a slight nod.

"Where is he? Is he ok?" Kate asked urgently.

"We have to go." Said Alex, and she lead Kate into a bathroom, a lot like the one in their hatch. She opened a cupboard and handed Kate three bottles labelled 'soap', 'shampoo' and 'conditioner'.

"Here you go. I will be waiting outside," and Alex left closing the door behind her. Kate sat down the towel and dress she was clutching and removed her dirty blue shirt and jeans. She would wash them after. Kate turned on the water and hopped in the shower, letting the warm water run down her face and through her hair.

"Hello Jack." Tom's voice echoed through Jack's room as he entered. Jack looked up angrily, but before he could reply Tom had poked Jack in the shoulder with a syringe. Jack reached to pull it out but he felt his eyelids slowly closing and his arms fell limp. Tom stared down at Jack for a moment, then whistled. In came three other men with a cloth stretcher. They each helped heave Jack onto it and then began to carry it out of the room.
